"Today" is a folk rock ballad written by Marty Balin and Paul Kantner from the band Jefferson Airplane.
It first appeared on their album Surrealistic Pillow with a live version later appearing on the expanded rerelease of Bless Its Pointed Little Head.
Marty Balin said, "I wrote it to try to meet Tony Bennett.
"[5] Jerry Garcia plays the simple, repetitive but poignant lead guitar riff on the song.
